An Opportunity for the Small Investor
The Oil Fields of Texas and Okla- FORTUNES IN OIL
honla have possibly enriched more people
than any other discovery of modern
tillie.. Opportunities were offered the
public who were not in a position to make
large investments, but many of whom
have since become independently rich
from the profits of their original small
lit vestmen
To the Canadian Public
During the four years I spent in the Peace River country I watched the oil development in all its stages.
Light wells have already been drilled In and near Peace River Town. Every well has brought In oil—not one well has been
drilled dry.
Pay oil has been discovered in at least five of the wells drilled, a record seldom attained in any new oil field on this continent,
That oil would be discovered in Peace River was predicted by George Dawsou, Canada's most eminent geologist, over
thirty years ago. During the past five years a score of the world's best known geologists and oil experts have visited Peace River,
and in every Instance these men of science endorsed the prophecy of Sir George Dawson of long ago.
A valuable by-product of the oil fields of Peace River is wet gas, from which, by simple process, gasoline is extracted.
From three to live million feet of wet gas belches from the wells already drilled into the gas stratum, '
Every man who has visited the wells at Peace River knows that oil is there, because he has seen it; but the wealth of the
earth, be it gold, silver or oil, is of no value unless money is efficiently spent for its development.
I believed the geologists and oil experts of this continent when they said that by drilling deeper into the oil sands at Peace
River the BIG OlL POOL would be discovered.
Eecxuec of this belief and my personal knowledge of the actual discovery of oil in the wells drilled at Peace River I feel f
ant acting in the best interests of Canada when I recommend the Canadian people to Join with Peace River Petroleums, Limited,
and help to ,-e"ere the big production of oil for our industries.
The fabulous wealth returned from small investments in other oil fields

keep.the money on farm up for the plant food returned if the
theo gith I have been broughthebeen
manure was taken care of properly so
along that Gine and so far I have been its plant food would not be lost.
Then the value of the manure to the
soil is not all in the plant food that is
bothered quite a lot, I
believe, by Site
idea I have inherited—so to speak.
When a farm crop or a vegetable returned, for humus as necessary to
takes more. time for the production of
it than the prop comes to, then it is i profitable production on any soil, and
tide to let some other fellow
raise
that crop and let me rause something
that I can make a go of. Beans is a
crop that we used to monkey with,
but we haven't just the right condi-
tions, for growing the crop. We do
have the climate for a dozen other
crops that we can produce at a profit
and also with pleasure, because it is a
pleasure to grow a crop that yields
well and brings a profit.
We are told very often by wiser men
than we that we must not put all the
eggs in one basket. I will say that we
must not put our eggs in the wrong
basket, but when we find the right one,
or two or three baskets, then fill -the
baskets up as high as they will hold.
Certain farms are adapted to cer-
tain crops. We can't get around that.
I can raise one or two crops on this
place that my neighbor can't make go
well, and he can raise something that
I can't make a success at. That is not
a matter of climate, as we have the
same wind and the same sun. And
another thing to -consider is that dif-
ferent men farm differently, I have
half the acres that my neighbor has.
His farm must be arranged differently
than mine. I can't have as much area
as he has, but I can do my farming a
little more intensively. That in itself
makes a different line of crops fit each
particular farm.
To find the crop that fits the farm,
and also the crop that fits the man, is
the biggest problem we have, I think.
Bigger production will come only
when I can get sense enough to stop
monkeying with a crop that does not
pay and start with one that is adapted
to me and my farm. If I can't find
that then I had better let someone
else have the farm or let the farm
have someone else to run it. Either
will allow both of us to serve our pur-
pose better.
Selling the Farm Piecemeal.
I have seen a lot of farms that are
being sold piecemeal, though their
owners don't seem to be aware of the
fact. They think they are keeping
their farm in their own possession,
but in many cases they have sold quite
a chunk of it already. Then, again, it
isn't such an easy matter as it appears
at first thought to keep .from selling
some of the farm as we go along. It
is a pretty good farmer that .has de-
veloped a system that prevents this
fully.
Every crop we grow takes a certain
amount of plant food from the soil—a
fact we all recognize. There is plant
food stored in the soil that gradually
becomes available to meet this de-
mand, but under ordinary'conditions
this is insufficient to make up the loss,
and if the cropping is continued a
time must come when the plant food
available each year will not produce
a paying crop -the farm will have
been about all sold.
Farmers have learned that it pays
to put back on the farm as much of
the plant food removed as they can
conveniently, but still a good many
neglect to do it that know, and some
others will not give the matter much
consideration. These go right along
selling their farm's fertility, which
measures the farm's real value. Farm
buyers are coming to take these things
into consideration and a wise buyer
will find out how the farm has been'
treated and whether a large part of
the fertility has been sold before hes
invests. He can build up the soil in
time but he knows that he will be the'
loser for the time it takes him to do'
this.
Now to keep the farts from losing
any of its fertility we will be obliged
to replace somewhat more than the
manure that - stock eating the crops
will produce, but many farmers do
this by judicious feeding of houghten
feeds, as well as by growing legumes.
Alfalfa is a very strong soil builder,
for it, not only takes nitrogen froml
the air and stores it in its roots 'ed
become a part of the soil, but it is
very rich in plant food which it re-
turns, endwhen we buy alfalfa to feed
we are' buying a valuable fertilizer at

The average hen lays from 100 to
160 eggs a year, extra good ones now
lay 200' eggs. Not, so long ego the
200 -egg hen was considered something
of a =reel, and the elevation by
bregdonsr.of the average hen to the
200 -egg mark was set as the ultimate
attaiilmeiit. Now thousandsof pure-
bred hens lay 200 eggs a year, and the
goal has been set much higher, which
breeding and selection may attain in
flocks given the proper ;care:,' -
Think what it would nlgan, to in-
brease by 100 the number o ethic laid
en the average by the hens of Canada.
It is estimated that there are more
than 100,000,000 less hens in th'e world
to -day than before the war.
At the. loy average oi,,100.. gs a

year this means that this year the
egg output of the world is 10,0001000,-
000 eggs less 'thee it was five years
ago. Perhaps we cab see in that some
reason for the prices we are paying.
More hens and better hens, the kind
that lay 200 eggs a year on the aver-
age, is the need of the world,

from the manure we get this humus.
There are sources of plant food that
are unavailable that the'ehemical ac-
tion of the gasses released by the de-
composition and fermentation of the
manure make available that would not
be available but for the manure, or at
least not so quickly. Then the manure
makes the soil more suitable for the
roots to penetrate and helps to hold
moisture, thee in a mechanical way,
assisting in production.
Where we systematically work to
improve the soil continually we are -
adding to our farm instead of selling
it off piecemeal, It is like depositing
money in the bank, but it .is where we
can be sure to draw it when we want
it, and no absconding bank cashier, or
bandits, or pasties, can touch it.
Food by 100 Calories.
At a recent course in food values
the various foodstuffs in. 100 calorie
portions were emphasized. There are
many housewives who would lilts to
memorize this table of food as meas-
ured by the new celery unit. A good
way to do this is to pin this table
in the kitchen, where it may be studied
for a moment many times a day:
A small lamb chop weighing one
ounce.
A large egg.
A small dish of baked beans.
An inch and a half cube of cheese.
An ordinary sized sauce dish of
sweet corn.
A large boiled potato.
A smaller sweet potato,
An ordinary thick slice of bread.
Two macaroons.
Two small baking powder biscuits.
Two-thirds cup of cornmeal mush.
One cup oatmeal (cooked).
Three-quarters cup steamed rte.
One and a third cupfuls puffed rice.
Two scant tablespoonfuls granulated
sugar.
One scant tablespoonful butter, oil,
or bacon fat.
One and a half tablespoonfuls co;'-

Half a cup macaroni and cheese.
One large raw apple.
